Custom Sub box? I've got a delema: I recently had a new head unit/touch screen put in my car, along w/ DVD nav, Sirius...anyways, I also have a 10" Kenwood excelon sub and a 5 channel amp (no box). I was going to use one of those stealth boxes to put the sub in. At the time of the install (sans sub..since they didn't have the box I wanted in) they put everything in, replaced a couple speakers... ran all this throught the factory monsoon amp. I didn't have the box available to me, nor did I have the time to wait on one to come in (I was having this install done where my parents live, not where I now live). So anyways, to make this simple.. all of this:
is in where the stealth box would have gone. I need another option for the sub box. I have seen some boxes put in the upper section of the hatch (ie. right behind the rear seats). Are these all custom that I've seen or are there ones you can order? I've looked on Ebay and on here ..not found anything useful.
I don't want my ttop storage interfered with, as well... I will have the amp and a 5.1 decoder installed through it all properly when the sub is finally put in.
*I have all the parts except the box.. this is part of the problem. I'm trying to find space for all of this...

There are some prtty cool ideas for boxes on www.subthump.com There is a box called a millhouse box that will hold a sub or two depending on what configuration you want and hold in where the rear cover hatch for the cargo bay is. The best thing is everything stays hidden and you still retain your deepwell area. Hope this helps!
I'd say relocate the Stacked Sandwich and add the Stealth box if you want it somewhat hidden and you like a fair amount of bass.
If you want Alot of Bass, you would want this type. http://www.subthump.com/acamarottop.htm
I think you are saying you want to retain the storage area and not just a spot to put your T-Tops. My recommondation is this:
Put you Processors here: http://www.subthump.com/acamarorack.htm
And get the stealth box with a 10" in it. http://www.subthump.com/acamarostealth.htm
If you are set on the flat uper area; it is a simple box to build, but doesn't offer much depth an isn't really hidden. I don't recall any pre-mades for this area.

Verdad Gallardo yea it does snap in there but because of the weight of the box and subs and the amount of torque on my car, it flew back a few times...never did it when the car was stock though, but i love the box and have had several compliments on it, its also nice because i can flip the box to hide the subs if i dont want anyone to see them just like the normal privacy cover. i also got the amp rack but had to be a new amp because my old one was too tall and interfered with the box when i tried to flip it
